Barge unloading 3000 tons of large ore ! The ore is difficult to move on the conveyor

[@jackboysen2373]

The slats cover the conveyor belt during the voyage. These are ore ships that transport rock or stone to mills. The slats control the rate at which the ore lands on the conveyor. Other wise the conveyor would bog down under the thousans of tons or weight on them

[@mkiwiet]

Thanks. That was strange! I had to stop and read the comments just to figure that one out. Now it makes sense

I like how the pry bar is tethered so if the worker gets buried they can get the bar back.

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

Looks like the bar is actually tethered so that they could mechanically pull on it. Tethering the worker won't help since the danger here is falling rock, not moving belt. There's a person on the belt start/stop button at all times.

The largest lumps almost always end up at the bottom on the outside which in this case means they are furthest from the conveyor. I also deal with bulk commodities in my work!

[@papalaz4444244]

Admiral Benbow @admiralbenbow5083 This channel doesn't have any content

[@LabTech41]

It's a feature of how differently sized particles 'flow' within a mass; the bigger particles, being the most cumbersome and thus least able to flow, will typically end up at the bottom and to the outside of a pile if they're being agitated, because the smaller particles can best follow the path of least resistance. In fact, if you start out with a mass that's evenly distributed and agitate it, they'll naturally sort themselves in that fashion.

You know when the tools are worth more than the workers life when the tools have a safety line.

The safety line is a winch you can see as tension builds up when the pull a slat

[@masondegaulle5731]

Appears to be a guy working the winch line (which is used to hook and pull the boards) and working the conveyor stop. Can see he pauses the conveyor when needed. They appear to have thoroughly wet down to control dust, definitely some sprain/strain/trip issues but apart from that there's nothing too wrong with what they're doing. Not terribly efficient for quantity shift but pretty decent for low labour cost.

[@allanwalker5305]

@@masondegaulle5731 the water seems to be more for liquefaction of the ore, so it can slide down to the conveyor on it's own

[@masondegaulle5731]

@@allanwalker5305 Eh, it helps, but the primary use for the water is to suppress dust, or all of these guys would have been chocking on it. I've worked in heavy industry for a fair bit of my life and despite how it may look, dust is by far the number one danger in what they're doing. Most of the governments are only just starting to come around to the fact that fine microphage dust is far more deadly than asbestos. Asbestos, you can swim in the stuff all your life and maybe be fine. Maybe only cut a few holes in a sheet and get mesothelioma. Like a bad lottery. Silicate dust, it's exposure. No chance or luck to it. You breathe the stuff in and your lungs can't expel it, can't "eat" it. The fine microphage particles build up where they can't be expelled and your lung walls grow over them. Rinse, repeat. Anyone with enough exposure is done, it's a timebomb deal.

[@unitedstatian]

They have ropes for the workers to hold on to, they just don't need it. You can see them use it on other ships with steeper sides but this one is fairly flat considering.

[@knobsdialsandbuttons]

Great video ! 👍

[@DarkVoidIII]

I wonder how much trouble it is to get the ore off if the conveyor breaks? It certainly doesn't look easy to replace!

[@FlushtheSystem]

You're absolutely right I bet.

[@skulcandykid]

They rip open the convayor from underneath. Attach a new long piece to the opposing end. Loop it around and make a new closing line where the old meets the new. But it takes a long time.

[@oliverxvi4373]

You mostly dont replace them if not totally worn out. Its kinda easy to repair the broken part on spot, and worth it if you have a load of stones and the rest of the belt looks good. Plus I think they inspect the belt pretty well before they dump.

Stainless steel is an alloy. The original ore is iron as is all steel once the iron ore is processed and it is pure steel then certain other metals are added to turn it into steel with other minerals and metals are used to create the various grades of stainless steel. Most graded of stainless are no longer magnetic like iron and steel are.
